COMMUNIST PARTY OF INDIA
COMMUNIST PARTY OF INDIA On December 26, 1925, a few ardent young patriots moved by the urge to free the motherland from colonial bondage, inspired by the Great October Socialist Revolution and fired with revolutionary zeal, braved imperialist persecution and came together in the city of Kanpur, to form the Communist Party of India with a view to fight for national independence and a future of socialism. The Party has fraternal relations with Communist and workers’ parties, progressive and democratic movements in all countries. The party’s election symbol is ears of corn and sickle, which represent agriculture and industry. This is inspired from the symbols of communist parties from around the world, specifically from the erstwhile USSR.
